Publisher's Description

Freedomcomes from knowing truth-and the One who is the Truth.In this study, readers discover the matchless freedom available in Christ, seeGod's grace, and take up the armor necessary to stand strong and victorious.

A big part of this study is making codes and symbols for recurring words in the Bible, which I didn't like at all. I also find it tedious and unfulfilling to just be told to only re-read a certain chapter again (many times through each week on most days she just tells you to re-read a certain chapter or section of verses and look for a certain word and create your symbol for it, then mark it in your bible). I also don't want my brand new Bible covered in pretty colour-coded symbols. I found many of her directions redundant and felt annoyed to do the same sort of observation AGAIN. I need a little bit more direction as I'm new to Bible study. But the worst part of this guide is where I've stopped using it - she does give some insight or motivational thoughts at the end of each week - and at the end of the Galatians section she is teaching you to live by the Spirit (which I'm again at the start of learning and figuring out what that actually means in my daily life AND STRUGGLING with it!!) she says if you feel like you can't do that then perhaps you should be questioning your salvation! It was a horrible slap in the face and I was in tears. I know I trust Jesus for my salvation and am struggling to stop trying to prove myself to Him and just accept grace, so this was a horrible statement by the author to make.

Galatians & Ephesians are always useful books to study for the believer, but Kay Arthur's inductive study method is the most useful tool out there. Bible-based and not "what do you think?" as source for answers. Requires dedication & accountability on the part of the student, very useful in small group settings.

The books themselves arrived in a very timely manner; they were in excellent condition; and the cost was exceptional, considering that they contain studies on 2 complete books of the Bible.

The ladies who are using these books in our current study seem to like it. While it is a different format than we have used in the past, the inductive method is definitely a great way to search the scriptures and get your own personal insights to their meaning.

Finally I found a really good Bible study. I love Kay Arthur's method of study. The inductive study really gives you greater insights into the scripture. Great book I'll be getting the rest in the series.

The Precept NISS series is a wonderful way to get into God's Word on a daily basis. Your are directed to do inductive study (which means you are learning directly from the Word of God) with daily assignments that can be completed in under 30 minutes. There are also discussion questions at the end of each week for those who use the material with a small group or Sunday School class.
